Last Thursday was the Family Concert at Avondale and our family was heavily featured. Felicity was in the choir and sang two items. Alice and Matt were the grand finale item singing "My Happy Moments Come From You" which Matt wrote for me over five years ago on our 8th Wedding Anniversary. Matt played guitar and Alice introduced the song and all the Mums in the audience cried it was so beautiful. It was rather sweet and I am now known around Avondale as the women whose husband writes music for her. Matt of course is now famous for setting the benchmark a bit high for other blokes.
After our lovely evening we came home to find Felicity's pet hamster Milly deceased. With many tears, we gave Milly an appropriate burial in the garden. The next morning Polly died too. The Pet Shop says it could have been a number of things - influenza, bacteria, overfeeding... So now we have two new hamsters, Pearl and Annie. We hope to have better luck this time around.

We are crying too! Just beautiful, well done Alice & Matt. B&M
ReplyDeleteWell done Alice, (no doubt your artistic talent has come for the "Day" side of the family) but sending up your Mother is not really nice unless of course she doesn't see it as a send up, and if that is case you will have many happy years of winding up people who have no idea what the real meaning is behind your words!
